There are 38 companies identified for closer scrutiny and about 100 more firms for “further engagement”, said Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say in an update on the Fair Consideration Framework introduced last year.
In a blogpost on Thursday (Aug 13), Mr Lim said the 38 are from the 150 firms the ministry has engaged with over the past year.
“MOM is committed to scrutinise the applications for Employment Pass (EP) by what I call ‘Double Weak’ firms: Weak in Singaporean Core and weak in commitment to fair consideration in hiring and developing Singaporeans,” Mr Lim wrote.
The Fair Consideration Framework was introduced last year to ensure that Singaporeans are considered fairly for job openings before firms apply to employ foreign PMEs.
On top of the 150, another 100 companies were identified for further engagement and these are considered “outliers” in their respective industries such as such as Admin and Support, Construction, Infocomm, Finance and Insurance, Professional Services, Transport and Storage and Wholesale Trade, the minister said.
“Being placed on the watchlist means that MOM will scrutinise their EP applications more closely. They will be asked to provide additional details, such as the number of Singaporeans who applied and were interviewed for the posts, and whether their existing Singaporean employees have been considered,” said Mr Lim.
He added his ministry will engage the firms to up their efforts in the training, development and upgrading of local Professionals, Managers and Executives (PMEs).
“In the event that we have a shortage of qualified Singaporeans in some specific areas, we will encourage them to transfer know-how from the foreign PMEs to their Singaporean staff so that, over time, more Singaporeans will be qualified to take on these opportunities and challenges,” Mr Lim wrote.
“Should there be Double Weak firms that are unresponsive or uncooperative, they will have their EP privileges curtailed,” he added.
That said, the minister believes “a majority” of the Double Weak firms will respond constructively to its call to strengthen their Singapore core. “I also believe that many of our local PMEs are willing to up-skill and re-skill, and are open to try out some of these jobs and careers we are creating for them,” he said.

Hi Gilbert
I’m Edward a Singaporean tower crane operator.
My salary is only $2500 but I was terminated by my company for exposing unsafe practices at my construction site.at Punggol after started working in April this year.
I have observed the way foreign workers built our HDB BTO in a very wrong way.
Recently, I read about the defective BTO issue and know that I can no longer keep quiet about this because one day I’ll stay in one of this too.
Please advise which is the proper channel I can raise my concern to.
Even after water was added from the cement truck they continue to add water during casting when the bucket reach the top.
Mixing of water can only be done in the cement plant and when it reaches the site no more water should be added to it.
The quality of the cement must be inspected and approved by the RTO before it can be use to cast our floor, ceiling and even pillars.
My signal men also knew I took photo of their reckless unsafe hoisting procedures and they threatened that I’m not allow to report or expose any photos taken to MOM or related authorities.
Editor’s note: the writer’s last day was on 31st July after he was terminated for trying to expose the unsafe malpractices of the sub con Hong Dat Engineering Pte Ltd. The writer has written to MOM about the matter.

Dear Gilbert
I am grateful to Richard for providing the linkage. I went to your website – was very touched by the people you helped.
I am 44, a trained former MOE teacher. I have since taught in X and a few other private schools.
I have stayed in a private school, ABC International teaching mainly PRC students for about four years.
Later I moved on to XYZ School thinking it was much the same since it is also a private school.
There, I faced lots of problems with the HOD of English who felt threatened by the fact that I was also NIE-trained and experienced like herself.
Many of the older staff were untrained or foreign-trained.
Since then she has made life very difficult for me and has criticized me unfairly.
Things came to a head when they ‘terminated’ my two-year contract in February this year and I was served with a three-month notice.
I attempted to seek redress with TAFEP and MOM but they told me that employers generally had a right to terminate when they see fit.
I accepted my ‘fate’ and ventured out by applying to lots of many other different positions.
I was sending in at least 20 applications via Jobstreet, JobsDB, Indeed.com, Jobsbank.
I am fortunate to be offered a full-time position at an enrichment centre teaching creative writing and I also fill in the other hours during the day with relief teaching as well as teaching classes at night.
I know that I should be grateful and I am.
However I would like to seek a full-time position that offers me regular hours as this enrichment centre requires me to work full day on Sat and Sun and that’s eating up my family time as I have two young kids.
I am attaching my resume for your kind perusal.
I am an active job seeker and I would always use the internet to search actively. I understand that it is a numbers’ game out there for job seekers.
A few days’ back my husband was also served with a one-month notice at his workplace.
I am also helping him to apply for different jobs. He is in Logistics/Supply Chain and Shipping. I attach his resume as well.
I am so grateful for your kind assistance in this matter.
Sincerely
Jennifer
